Before Save

apply_filters_ref_array( 'vikappointments_before_save_media', bool $save, mixed &$data, JModel $model )

Fires before saving/uploading a media file.

Description

Trigger hook to allow the plugins to bind the object that is going to be saved.

TIP: in case of failure while saving the record, it is possible to throw an exception to abort the saving process and return a readable error message. The same can be accomplished by registering an error to the model and returning false.

// throw an exception
throw new Exception('Missing required field', 404);
// or register the error
$model->setError('Missing required field');
return false;

Parameters

$save

(bool)  Use false to abort the saving process.

&$data

(array|object)  Either an array or an object specifying the media properties to bind.

$model

(JModel)  The model instance that handles the saving process.

Example

/**

 *
 * @param  boolean  $save   False to abort the saving process.
 * @param  mixed    &$data  The array/object to bind.
